The making of Angela Merkel(unusual politician) a German enigma with Andrew Marr BBC documentary

safdThis weekend, there's an election that will influence the future of much of Europe - Britain, France, Spain, Italy, Greece and many other countries. But none of them can vote. The election is in Germany - and the woman at the centre of this political event is Angela Merkel.
For every country in Europe, it's all about the economy. Across the continent, people are still battling with the twists and turns of the financial crisis. And wherever you are, economic recovery depends heavily on how Angela Merkel treats the next stage of the crisis: these days, most roads lead to Berlin.
That's why it has long seemed to me that one of the most important political reporting jobs right now is to try to understand Angela Merkel better. But Mrs Merkel is an unusually private and reticent politician - there is no exhibitionism and grandstanding. Even for Germans, she's a hard woman to know.
She didn't want to do an interview ahead of the German elections, and certainly not in English - even though she speaks it quite well. But we've spoken to a range of her friends, her political allies and her critics. We've delved back into to her upbringing in the pretty East German town of Templin, some 50 miles from Berlin, and spoken to childhood friends and student mates who knew her at a time when politics was more dangerous and tricky.

The Making of Merkel with Andrew Marr BBC documentary 2013 about Angel Merkel imp politician

The making of Angela Merkel, a German enigma
On the eve of the German federal elections, Andrew Marr looks at the enigmatic Chancellor of Germany, Angela Merkel. She is the most important politician in Europe and the most powerful woman in the world. Yet she has been criticized by some for her lack of charisma and accused by others of trying to turn Europe into a Greater Germany. Andrew Marr delves into her childhood and background to discover what has shaped her political vision and style. Growing up in East Germany, the paranoid state at the heart of the Communist Eastern Bloc, then becoming a research scientist, she only entered politics in her mid-thirties after the fall of the Berlin Wall. Her political journey has been marked by caution and compromise - but with occasional flashes of ruthlessness and an unyielding commitment to European Union. In this film, Andrew Marr lifts the veil on a very unusual politician.

Angela Merkel Is Destroying Europe

http://www.intelligencesquared.com/events/angela-merkel-is-destroying-europe/
Filmed at Cadogan Hall on 26th November 2013.
They're calling her the devil. Inflammatory words, no doubt, but Europe has every reason to be livid with the German Chancellor. Angela Merkel is causing needless pain and hardship across Europe, its southern states in particular. The austerity measures she insists that nations like Greece and Portugal adopt are strangling their economies, creating huge unemployment and making it impossible for them to pay off their debts -- the very reason for introducing these measures in the first place. Worse still, even though the IMF and the US are beseeching her to give Europe a desperately needed boost by opening up Germany's economy, she refuses to do so: the plan in Germany now is to run a budget surplus. It's madness. And it's wrong.
That line is becoming the increasingly orthodox take on the crisis in Europe. But is it fair? Is it true? Isn't this just another case of scapegoating Germany for being Europe's largest and best run economy? If Germany now enjoys an unemployment rate of only 5.4% compared to Europe's average of 12%, that's because for the past 15 years it kept real wages down and experienced low rates of growth while in the other nations of the eurozone wages soared and their economies boomed. They recklessly disregarded the rules on fiscal discipline to which they'd signed up on joining the euro. They cocked two fingers at Berlin when it warned them what would happen. And now that it has happened is it all Germany's fault? Angela Merkel isn't destroying Europe: she's one of the few elements that is keeping it together.
